Churaig Mac Niall has
been on a
shamanic path for 16 years, since a
life-disrupting series of
events. At this point, a Bear appeared in
his 'meditations' and
began taking him on teaching journeys.
During a course on World
Religions at University, Churaig suddenly
realised that his experiences
had a name - Shamanism.

He has
intensively
trained with Dr Crow Swimsaway and Bekki Shining
Bearheart at the
Church of Earth Healing in Ohio in 2001, and has
worked with a number
of other
teachers. He has degrees in Studies of Religion
and Anthropology and in
Education. He also has a background in
massage, hypnotherapy and
Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Born and
bred in Australia, where
he raised three daughters, Churaig moved to
England after his Intensive
training with Bekki and Crow. He teaches
Shamanism around
the UK and has a shamanic healing practice. He
is a member of the
Society of Shamanic Practitioners and the Core Shamanic
Practitioner’s
Circle.
